this is why we have trading bots. another option is to not do day trading, but swing trading, which requires more fundamental analysis and using longer timeframe and market sentiment. day trading is really stressful and won't give you that much profits if you don't have lots of money.

I always forget that I make harm to my physical condition when I am sitting in front of my computer.
The best think that I have started doing is taking a walk once a day for at least one hour. I feel relieved when I do it and it helps my condition. Trading needs to sit a lot of hours in front of the PC and sometimes you lose track of time.

Indeed this a very useful information but its very hard to keep you away from all these gadgets as these are part of everyone's daily life now. Many of us have to use computer, mobile phone to run their professional life, yes watching TV can be avoided to some extent. It is highly recommended to devote atleast 1-2 hours daily for yoga/physical exercise. If anyone is in office job sitting all day in front of PC, he/should change posture or stand up for some seconds after every 15-20 minutes, do not sit continuously in one posture for a long time. Keep yourself busy in some physical activities during off hours. Balancing your daily routine can reduce the chances bad postures development in the body.

yehp, It really makes sense to do so.
If you're worried about your eyes - get F.lux or another red light filter for your PC and your phone. It'll help you sleep better at night and help you avoid eye-strain.
Here is a product you might like - it helps you have perfect posture. It's something you wear.... Like a rucksack / Backpack - with no bag. Just the straps which keep your chest high and shoulders back.

This blackroll company do some AMAZING FAscia equipment (self-massage) which is important in keeping good posture.
You use balls and foam rollers to break down tight knotted muscles and increase circulation allowing your muscles' tissue quality to return to optimal health.

It's not only the computer monitor that is destroying some parts of our body, gadgets and cell phones also do the same. Staring at the phone's screen causes some irritations on the eyes. That's why i see to it that whenever i am at the computer or on the cell phone i am at the right posture as much as possible.

I was in not exaggerating; agony. pretty much 24/7 before I started addressing this.
I was a full-time gamer. Talking really obsessive, sometimes 14 hours a day. Bad times.
Since then. I have also created myself a lying down desk!. My monitor suspended from a wall-mounted pull-up bar. - I trade on a yoga mat. Life is good now.
A couple tips from me:
Raise your monitor so the top of it is at eye height.
Don't lean on your desk. Your fingers just aren't so great at supporting your entire body weight.
Don't cross your legs, try have your feet below your knees e.t.c.
Learning to use a computer safely, (as bizarre as that may sound at first) I would argue is fundamental to taking trading seriously.
And phones too.
People tend to think you're taking a photo of them when you use a phone correctly as above. Something to be aware of.... ...

This is a very useful information. I think that it would be very helpful for many people who have been using computer a lot. I believe most of us have been using computer a lot. It would also help a lot of traders who have been facing this problem.

What's this got to do with trading?
Well, we all use computers a lot don't we. It's part of the trade.
In our leisure time we may also then watch TV or play computer games. Then there's our smartphones that we use for various things.
All this - staring at LCD screens creates a detrimental physical condition called; Forward Head Posture.
as many as 9/10 people in developed countries have it.
As it's name implies it's a posture where the head is further forward than it should be.
The result of this is your head gets heavier and heavier the further forward it goes... up to 4x the weight it should be. Thus putting incredible strain on your neck and wearing out the cartilage way faster than is natural.
So a life-time of that and you will have a physical disability / damaged neck.
--
So addressing this issue as well as preventing you from having a permanently damaged spine has some very interesting benefits.
*20% increase in testosterone
*30% decrease in cortisol (stress hormone - less stress better trading, apart from the obvious)
*30% increase in lung volume!!!!!
How do you know if you have forward head posture?
Well, your ears should be over your shoulders. So turn side on in the mirror and look at the back of your neck. If it's straight that's good... if it's at an angle, not good.
With forward head posture you also get an unattractive bump at the base of your neck. this is your body trying to keep your head from falling off and protecting your spine as best it can.
So fix it guys.
It's pretty simple - you just have to be aware that it's a problem in the first place and dedicate a small amount of time each day at correcting it.
There are videos on youtube e.t.c.
But I found this guy called Rick Kaselj. He is a kinesiologist as opposed to physiotherapist and his courses have been a game changer for me.
I highly recommend checking some of his courses out (he has many, one for the many detrimental effects of sitting too much as well - which is probably a problem for a lot of us)
So the two courses of his I'd recommend for traders:

Hope this helps some of you.
Take care.
